"Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home after at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly, over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another." - Paul Bowles

One hour before grilling the hare the pieces needs to be sea salted and peppered.

Grill for about 20 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the pieces, brushing with marinade and turning them over every 5 to 10 minutes. Do not forget that the hare will look done before it actually is.

Look after it by controlling the temperature and basting it continuously with the marinade.

Dora de Houghton Carrington(1893 – 1932) - Painter associated with the Bloomsbury Group. We know that The Bloomsbury Group had a strong influence on both art and society.

The question is do we consider Carrington's work to be of importance? or do we consider just her Bohemian lifestyle to be of interest?

She studied at Slade School of Fine Art in London. She married in 1921 and lived with her husband Ralph Partridgeand Lytton Strachey. Partridge was educated at Christ Church and had rowed with Doras brother Noel while at Oxford. Dora was later introduced to him in Scotland.

"Partridge was the opposite of the kind of man who normally attracted her. He was tall and broad-shouldered and, in spite of her critical assessment of his looks, very handsome. He was in many ways a man's man, who wore his uniform as if he was meant to and was an athlete. Her friends in Bloomsbury took to calling him the major, and wondered how to assimilate such a seemingly stereotypical and masculine member of the English upper middle classes into their circle. They were to find that he fitted in rather well."

She met Lytton Strachey (British writer) (which who she would have a platonic relationship) while staying at Asheham House with Virginia Woolf. He studied at Trinity College and later joined other Cambridge graduates in the Bloomsbury group. Carrington was devoted to him for the rest of his life.

The author of the book Virginia Woolf's Women (2002) stated that he was: "Attracted to Carrington from the moment he first laid eyes on her, he had boldly tried to kiss her during a walk across the South Downs, the feeling of his beard prompting an enraged outburst of disgust from the unwilling recipient. According to legend, Carrington plotted frenzied revenge, creeping into Lytton's bedroom during the night with the intention of cutting off the detested beard. Instead, she was mesmerized by his eyes, which opened suddenly and regarded her intently. From that moment on, the two became virtually inseparable.

"The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative art."

" I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any."

-Mahatma Ghandi

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Give your children roots and wings and teach them how to fly ...but be careful and remember that a broken winged bird cannot fly ...
